5 This option gives you the ability to force a static link of UML.
6 Normally, UML is linked as a shared binary. This is inconvenient for
7 use in a chroot jail. So, if you intend to run UML inside a chroot,
8 you probably want to say Y here.
9 Additionally, this option enables using higher memory spaces (up to
10 2.75G) for UML.

30 While the User-Mode Linux port uses its own root file system for
31 booting and normal file access, this module lets the UML user
32 access files stored on the host. It does not require any
33 network connection between the Host and UML. An example use of
34 this might be:
1da177e4 35
4c9e1385 36 mount none /tmp/fromhost -t hostfs -o /tmp/umlshare
1da177e4 37
4c9e1385
JD
38 where /tmp/fromhost is an empty directory inside UML and
39 /tmp/umlshare is a directory on the host with files the UML user
40 wishes to access.

1da177e4 51 help
4c9e1385
JD
52 hppfs (HoneyPot ProcFS) is a filesystem which allows UML /proc
53 entries to be overridden, removed, or fabricated from the host.
54 Its purpose is to allow a UML to appear to be a physical machine
55 by removing or changing anything in /proc which gives away the
56 identity of a UML.

65 default y
66 help
4c9e1385
JD
67 The user mode linux management console is a low-level interface to
68 the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface. Since there is
69 a full-blown operating system running under every user mode linux
70 instance, there is much greater flexibility possible than with the
71 SysRq mechanism.
1da177e4 72
4c9e1385
JD
73 If you answer 'Y' to this option, to use this feature, you need the
74 mconsole client (called uml_mconsole) which is present in CVS in
75 2.4.5-9um and later (path /tools/mconsole), and is also in the
76 distribution RPM package in 2.4.6 and later.

JD
83 help
84 If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
85 if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
86 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
87 immediately or dump some status information). A key for each of the
88 possible requests is provided.
1da177e4 89
4c9e1385

90 This is the feature normally accomplished by pressing a key
91 while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen).
1da177e4 92
4c9e1385
JD
93 On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with
94 mconsole, followed by the letter for the requested command.
1da177e4 95
4c9e1385
JD
96 The keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
97 unless you really know what this hack does.

104 This option enables UML SMP support.
105 It is NOT related to having a real SMP box. Not directly, at least.
1da177e4 106
4c9e1385
JD
107 UML implements virtual SMP by allowing as many processes to run
108 simultaneously on the host as there are virtual processors configured.
1da177e4 109
4c9e1385
JD
110 Obviously, if the host is a uniprocessor, those processes will
111 timeshare, but, inside UML, will appear to be running simultaneously.
112 If the host is a multiprocessor, then UML processes may run
113 simultaneously, depending on the host scheduler.
1da177e4 114
4c9e1385
JD
115 This, however, is supported only in TT mode. So, if you use the SKAS
116 patch on your host, switching to TT mode and enabling SMP usually
117 gives you worse performances.
118 Also, since the support for SMP has been under-developed, there could
119 be some bugs being exposed by enabling SMP.
1da177e4 120
4c9e1385 121 If you don't know what to do, say N.

ce2d2aed 139
4c9e1385
JD
140 To use big amounts of memory, it is recommended enable static
141 linking (i.e. CONFIG_STATIC_LINK) - this should allow the
142 guest to use up to 2.75G of memory.
